I always liked their track drops, they had a very comfortable shoulder bend
Deda makes some of the only non-cylindrical steer tube forks for internal cable routing
wow poseur alert
Fakengeur
Oh boy I saw the most 2008 guy yesterday but couldn’t get a picture. Skinny jeans, Onitsuka Tigers, CK cycling cap, sticker bombed single speed with no rear brake, Deep V front wheel, narrow risers rolled forward, doing the swing-the-leg-over-the-bars dismount, gigantic Chrome messenger bag
So glorious
too many statement piece CC parts that contradict each other
like 1x cranks that are over a cm wider Q than the triple that came on the XO-1
To be fair Will does work at CC and he’s a really great dude.
for example if you worked at Wolf Tooth, you especially shouldn’t find a way to use the whole catalog of adapters-for-adapters on one bike
That’s a stretch. Bike looks cool. Will loves to ride it. Q-factor is a red herring (for some).
pretty tasteful homage shartmo, looks to me like CC doesn’t make the exact parts but might as well use one’s bro deal
would love to ride that inverted fork, it weighs about as much as a rigid steel fork
smmfh this is just sending me down an xo rabbit hole
reddit-ass bike.
I don’t have particularly strong feelings about either one but I would like to ride them back to back because I have no idea which one I’d actually like better
Whoa I scrolled all the way down and found a .gif of the cane creek lizard wriggling around and that was pretty cool.

I’m glad the guy likes his bike, but I think it’s silly to paint a Fargo to look like an XO-1, even if I kinda get why he did it.
All worth it just for that gif
I think it’s a fun project and enjoy the side by side shots.
I like that the OX-1 guy is wearing kit and the fancy gravel bike guy is wearing baggies and a t shirt.
so he painted the bike he wanted to build kind of like a bike that everyone remembers?
I don’t get it.
